Chapter 48 - Cure(2) (1/2)

”Well, truth be told I was a little tempted to absorb it but then I thought that it might benefit you or your granddaughter more than it can benefit me so I didn't absorb it yet and since you have the same spirit you can even get a domain ability if your luck and your poison also won't corrupt it as it would to any other bone since they have the same poison”

Though what he said was reasonable and he couldn't refute the logic in it, he still couldn't understand why he would just hand out a 10,000-year spirit bone to his granddaughter, that was an item which anyone would want to have for themselves.

While he was thinking about that, Tang San gave Dugu Yan a jade bottle which had a few pills in them, these were the pills he had refined in the morning for her, it would temporarily neutralize the poison in her body long enough for her to drive it all completely into the Spirit Bone.

This was the new version of the same pill which he had given to Dugu Bo during the time he had spent with him in Sunset Forest, it could act not only on the poison produced by the spirit but also on the poison released by the spirit bone itself, as for the Ten Thousand Year Jade Phosphor Serpent Spirit Bone, it was something which he had gotten from the system.

”I can't accept this bone, it's too precious”

Dugu Yan who was silent all this time finally spoke up, what she said was quite reasonable since no one would just 'give away' a ten thousand year spirit bone for 'helping' his fiance.

”Well, if you don't want it then I can just give it to your grandfather this can still help him get rid of the lingering poison in his body”

The way he said it so nonchalantly made them doubt whether this was a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Bone or not.

”You see, this spirit bone contains the poison of the Jade Phosphor Serpent and unless one has poison immunity or a similar type of poison spirit or a superior poison type spirit it would be useless to them. So even if I sell this I won't get the same as what I would get from selling any other Ten Thousand Year Spirit Bone”

When they heard Tang San's 'reason' for giving away the spirit bone they finally noticed the dense poison being emitted from it, they had to finally agree with the reason this time but Dugu Bo still asked him,

”Then why don't you take this bone instead?? You have a poison immunity don't you, this bone would surely boost your strength by a large amount, and since you're the youngest Spirit King you would need some extra protection apart from your Spirit abilities to defend yourself”

”That would be the case if I didn't absorb a torso spirit bone, it was an Ice Jade Scorpion Torso Spirit Bone, and due to that I can't absorb this anymore, so either you accept it or just throw it away since it would only bring problems if someone found out that I have a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Bone”

Dugu Yan finally understood the reason and accepted it and said,

”... I'll accept it and in return, I'll agree to marry you after you graduate from the academy”

”Well, I'll have to decline since I don't intend on marrying that soon”

Dugu Bo who was getting a little impatient said,

”Can you both hurry it up a little, decide on the marriage for a later date when I and Tang San's parents talk it out first”
